The Best Ever Mac And Cheese
This is the best ever Mac and cheese! It is the only comfort food recipe you will ever need. It is the creamiest and cheesiest! Creamy sharp cheddar, with the perfect hint of sweetness!
Mac and cheese is one of my favorite comfort foods. I like all types and any types. If someone put a bowl of Mac and cheese in front of me, and told me to try it, I would! Ive tried my share of different recipes, but nothing compares to this best ever Mac and cheese recipe!
The entire process of making this recipe was so satisfying. Watching all of the ingredients melt down to delicious cheese sauce, and the smell!! Oh my god!
The onion powder gives it this perfect hint of onion, and the cream cheese gives it this amazing sweetness!
I must warn you…this recipe is no where near healthy. There is a lot of cream, and cheese…but no butter! So I guess that’s good…
Everyone needs a good comfort food recipe in their life. And this is it!
I made this recipe for a party once and it was completely gone. Everyone kept raving about how delicious it was, and how they’ve never had a homemade Mac and cheese like it!
This recipe is perfect if you’re feeding a large crowd or bringing it to a party. its feeds ALOT. If you want to make this recipe for your family, and make only a family serving size, just cut the ingredients in half! Or you could always make the large serving size and have plenty of left overs!
Most Mac and cheeses that are reheated tend to dry out, but not this recipe!!
Enjoy!
